[bug] redirector doesn't redirect when i click on links in page #267

Open sulphide3 opened 3 years ago

sulphide3 commented 3 years ago

i created a redirect from https://youtube.com to https://youtube.com/feed/subscriptions which works fine when i type the url in the location bar, but if i click on links to the same url (e.g. the youtube home icon) the redirector has no effect.

Youtube uses weird ways to switch between pages, so Redirector can't really handle it. You can try using the Advanced options and checking the "History State" option as well as "Main window", but even then I'm not sure it will work.
